Ning Pingnan shouted to retreat, it was too late, the Yama Gang merchant ships rushed into the Song army like flying, a round of flying arrows shot through, followed by the same as against the Qizhou naval army, first with a hook to catch the Song army warship, the masked man climbed on the Song army warship with a long knife and slashed.

The Song army lost the opportunity, first was blown up and dizzy, and then was frightened by the rain of arrows, the warship was suddenly hooked, everyone was frightened, fortunately, the Huangzhou navy was well-trained, and immediately rushed forward to fight. The two sides stared at the blood-red eyes on the fireship desperately, Xue Ping, the young master of the Yama Gang, stood on a merchant ship and watched coldly, a man in Tsing Yi suddenly jumped over from another ship and said loudly: "Master has an order, don't delay time, end the battle quickly." ”
Xue Ping nodded and said, "Order." Then he signaled to a man in Tsing Yi beside him, and the man in Tsing Yi took out a small red flag from his arms, shook it vigorously, and followed several people in Tsing Yi around Xue Ping to find out the horn, and the horn sound of desolation sounded, and the people in Tsing Yi were like drinking stimulants, and their combat power rose sharply, and they cut Song Jun crying and shouting for their mothers, and they jumped into the river to escape.
The people in Tsing Yi would give them a chance, seeing that the fire was getting bigger, they jumped back to the merchant ship one after another, followed by shooting arrows at Jiangxin, and shot the Song troops who fell into the water to death one by one.
Ning Pingnan fled out of the battle circle and fled to Jiangbei with the protection of his own soldiers, shooting countless black balls from the merchant ship in a vain attempt to blow up and sink his warship. Ning Pingnan's personal soldiers went into battle to shake the oars together, and although the battleship was shot to a thousand holes, fortunately, there was no danger, and finally fled back to Jiangbei.
The rest of the Song army was still fighting desperately under the leadership of the deputy general, but the two sides were not on the same level at all, and the battle soon became one-sided. The Song warship caught fire and suffered heavy casualties, and finally could not resist the enemy, so it turned the bow and fled.
How could the Yama gang let go of such a good opportunity, the merchant ships pounced on them like arrows from the string, and the people in Tsing Yi stuck to the Song army like maggots attached to the bones, and the Song army was cornered, either dying in battle or jumping into the river and drowning.
In less than half an hour, the Great Song Dynasty Huangzhou Navy was completely annihilated, and the Yama Gang quickly cleaned up the battlefield, did not stop, and immediately rushed to the west.
Ning Nanping fled back to the north bank, and immediately sent people to ask the imperial court for help, and sent people to inform Liu Faku, the commander of the Ezhou naval army upstream, to take precautions as soon as possible.
The defeat of the Yama gang in Qizhou and Huangzhou naval armies, and the lack of five or six thousand regular troops in the two battles of the Song army had already alarmed the entire Jiangbei, and the states in Jiangbei immediately organized elite troops to pursue along the river. The Jiangnan Navy also sent people to contact Jiangbei, saying that the elite of the Jiangnan Navy would definitely avenge the Jiangbei Northern Army. For the first time, the Song and Tang dynasties gathered 120,000 troops because of the Jiangnan water thief alliance, including 50,000 Song troops and 70,000 Tang troops.
The two sides moved to Meng Chang of Dashu and asked him to send troops to chase and suppress, Nanping and Wuping have always been based on the Central Plains, and naturally they also received a note from the Song army, and the five parties joined forces and vowed to completely kill the Yama Gang.
The Yama Gang did not ignore it at all, quickly rushed forward, defeated the Ezhou Naval Army again, and quickly pounced on Yuezhou, and the Wuping Naval Army Guards saw that the enemy was strong, and did not dare to resist at all, so they symbolically released a few arrows and let the Yama Gang go. The Yama Gang came unscathed and rushed straight to Gangneung City.
Nanping had already received the news, and was ready to gather 10,000 sailors, led by the general Wang Taibao, to block the river. 3,000 archers, 10,000 elite sailors, 4,000 elite cavalry, and 5,000 infantry troops, a total of more than 20,000 people, guarded the river.
The Yama Gang suddenly stopped when approaching Jiangling Mansion, and suddenly the fleet caught fire in a foggy night, and the defenders of Nanping did not dare to approach, and when Tianming sent someone to check, they found that the Yama Gang fleet was burned out, and there were countless black scorched wood wreckage floating on the river. Tens of thousands of people in the Yama gang disappeared strangely, and Wang Taibao, the general of Nanping, learned the news and immediately sent people to search along the river, and found traces of a large group of people and horses on the south bank of the river, but I don't know where so many people ran.
Following the Song and Tang Dynasty coalition forces to chase, the three parties converged on the river, after listening to the news of Wang Taibao, the two main generals discussed, and the Southern Tang Navy and the Nanping Navy continued to pursue and suppress, and the Great Song Dynasty expedition was mostly infantry cavalry, not accustomed to water warfare, and retreated one after another.
Emperor Zhao Kuangyin of the Great Song Dynasty was furious after receiving the report, and immediately sent a message to Li Yu, blaming him for not being strict in his control and ineffective in purging and suppressing, which led to the joint army of the water thieves, and ordered him to present the head of the leader of the Yama Gang within a month. Between the lines, he also revealed a very serious suspicion, saying that he intended to indulge the water thieves to attack the Song army, and the Jiangnan water army sat idly by and did not save it, and there was a suspicion of internal and external cooperation.
Li Yu immediately replied to apologize after receiving the report, explaining that the Jiangnan water thieves were cornered, and more than 10,000 bandits from the 16th Route were gathered to flee westward, and the Jiangnan Water Army was chasing and suppressing them, and they would definitely give an explanation to the Great Song Dynasty. In order to appease the anger of the Great Song Dynasty, a deputy general of the Jiangnan Navy who sat back and watched the annihilation of the Huangzhou Navy was removed from his post and investigated.
This lieutenant general was removed for no reason, and then Li Congshan was transferred to the Zheng Wangfu to serve, and was promoted two levels in a row, and soon he was released as the Marquis of Yu, the capital of the Raozhou army.
The Jiangnan Navy and the Nanping Navy converged together, and searched carefully along the river, and the Jiangnan and Jiangbei were full of Nanping horse cavalry, because a Yama gang had stirred up the entire small country of Nanping.
The two countries joined forces to search, and there were many rumors among the people, and the various factions in the rivers and lakes stationed on the Wangxian Bridge outside Jiangling City also heard the wind and sent countless spies to investigate everywhere, not knowing what kind of incident was going to happen in various countries.
At this time, it was late September, Wuping Jiedu made Zhou Xingfeng die of illness, Hengzhou assassin Zhang Wenbiao rebelled as scheduled, Wuping's new Jiedu envoy Zhou Baoquan immediately sent Yang Shifan to quell the rebellion, and at the same time sent troops to the Great Song Dynasty for help. Soon received a reply, and the Song army promised to send troops.
Sun Zhen, commander of the Jiangnan Expeditionary Army, immediately sent someone to contact Zhou Baoquan after receiving the report, stating that the Jiangnan army suspected that Yan Luo had fled south into Zhang Wenbiao's army, and was willing to send troops to help quell the rebellion. After Zhou Baoquan discussed with his subordinates, seeing that Zhang Wen was powerful and Yang Shifan was invincible for a while, the two sides confronted each other, stalemate for a long time, and rushed to the hospital in a hurry, so he agreed to Sun Zhen's request and asked the Jiangnan Navy to send troops to quell the rebellion.
Deputy Marshal Yang Shu immediately turned around, led 60,000 horses to Hengzhou, and joined forces with Wuping's official army to first recover Tanzhou, which was captured by Zhang Wenbiao, and then waved his troops south, directly approaching Hengzhou, and crushing Zhang Wenbiao in the city.
History turned a corner, and what Zhou Baoquan didn't know was that the messenger he sent to ask for help from the Great Song Dynasty did not see the Great Song Emperor at all, and the reply he received was also fake. Everything was premeditated, and the Wuping messenger was killed as soon as he entered the Song realm, and then someone forged a letter to send it back to Wuping.
The Southern Tang Navy intervened, and history quietly changed here, truly like the wings of a butterfly, beginning the process of changing the global climate.
All of this is naturally designed by Xiao Han, he stood at the height of later generations, interlocking, and finally completed the first step of pacifying Wuping and Nanping.
The Yama Gang is naturally fake, and with their combat strength, it is no wonder that Zhao Kuangyin suspects that they are not ordinary water thieves, but the most elite naval army in the south of the Yangtze River, Raozhou Xiang Army, and the commander is Xue Lian, who received the task in King Zheng's mansion, and the young man is his son, the young hero Xue Dingfang.
Sun Zhen led his troops to search for the Yama Gang in Nanping, and Yang Shu led the troops to help Wuping quell the rebellion, each doing their own things, and everything went according to plan. The two admired Xiao Han's foresight ability so much that they were shocked in their hearts, and they were greatly shocked in their hearts, and they firmly believed that Xiao Han was a god from heaven and had his own blessing, and since then they have obeyed him, and they have not even said a word of doubt.
On the south bank of the Yangtze River, a man and a woman slowly walked on the official road outside Jiangling City, and these two people were dusty and dusty. The woman was full of freckles, carrying a burden on her back, and holding the man with thick eyebrows and big eyes in one hand, and the two walked next to each other.
The man's physical strength was obviously exhausted, and after walking for a moment, he panted and said, "No, I have to rest." Then he sat down on the ground. The woman was very helpless, looked up at the sky, and said anxiously: "No, if we don't leave, it will be dark, and we can't sleep in the wilderness." ”
The man said: "With you, what are we afraid of, we will sleep in the open." The woman shook her head and said, "No, there will be a market town five miles away, and we will rest there." The man frowned and said, "I can't walk, either carry me or sit down." ”
The woman was very helpless, and said angrily: "Nonsense again, I really don't want to pay attention to you." The man said: "You ignore me, there are many beautiful women crying and shouting and begging me to ignore her, so you can cry to the side." The woman pursed her lips and said, "That's good, just call my sister when the time comes, see how you deal with it?"
The man pouted and said, "Don't keep using her to press me, that unruly girl, sooner or later, my son will obey her training." ”
The two were talking and laughing, when they heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and the man hurriedly got up from the ground and hid with the woman on the side of the road. Then I saw four fast horses rushing towards them, and immediately four young women dressed in black, one woman stopped beside them and said condescendingly: "Are you a mountain man or a farmer? Have you ever seen three young men riding by?"
The man and the woman saw that the color behind the two changed slightly, and the two glanced at each other, and the man lowered his eyebrows and said, "I haven't seen it." ”
Immediately, the woman looked like a porcelain doll, and when she heard this, she turned her head to the three people behind her: "Sister, they won't not come, right?" A woman with a white face screamed: "I told you a long time ago, these people can't be trusted, you two don't listen to me, sooner or later you will suffer a big loss." ”
Another woman said gently: "After all, they are famous and decent disciples, and there are many rules, so let's wait for the front." ”
The four of them rode away, and the man turned to the woman next to him and said, "Who are the four of them looking for?" The woman said: "Knowingly asked, naturally looking for Luo Beihong and Duan Xiliu." The man said: "Ah, yes, if this son's expectation is good, it should be Mei Yuqin who escorted the two junior sisters to have a private meeting with the lover, let's go up and have a look." ”
The woman shook her head and said, "When people meet, what are we going to do?" The man grabbed her hand and said: "I want to see how these two pairs of little lovers date, just learn to learn, and in the future, we will date and follow the cat and the tiger, and also have a romance." ”
The woman finally couldn't help but raise her hand and nudge him lightly and said, "If you talk nonsense, I'll go." The man laughed, took her hand tightly and said, "The four of them are here, I have the strength, let's go." ”
The woman sneered: "It's not serious. Let him hold his hand and move slowly. The two of them leaned on each other until the sun set, and finally saw a small village in front of them, about a dozen stone houses, surrounded by trees, and the scenery was good.
The two of them were Xiao Han and Murong Qiuyu in disguise, seeing that it was already dark, Murong Qiuyu said, "Let's stay here, right?"
Xiao Han was just about to speak, when he saw two fast horses flying out of the village and almost hit them. Xiao Han and Murong Qiuyu hurriedly dodged, and immediately one of them shouted angrily, waving his horsewhip and hitting them directly.
